The Company reported net income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $353.3 million, or $7.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $262.6 million, or $5.16 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2025. Third quarter 2026 Adjusted Net Income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders was $531.5 million, including an SRE impact of $187.2 million, compared to $302.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA was $646.0 million, including an SRE impact of $222.0 million, compared to $372.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. A reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this news release.

“Third quarter financial results reflect strong operating performance from each of our businesses,” said Will Monteleone, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also reached two important strategic milestones: our newly created Renewables segment delivered its first profitable quarter, and we agreed to divest our interest in Laramie Energy on attractive terms. Looking ahead, we remain focused on serving our customers and maintaining reliable operations during this strong margin environment.”

Refining

The Refining segment reported operating income of $454.4 million in the third quarter of 2026, including an SRE impact of $142.4 million, compared to $340.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Refining segment was $752.4 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $450.3 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Refining segment Adjusted EBITDA was $618.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $337.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter 2026 Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA for

the Refining segment include an SRE impact of $222.0 million. Refining segment throughput was 174 thousand barrels per day (Mbpd) for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 198 Mbpd for the third quarter of 2025.

Hawaii
The Hawaii Index averaged $38.31 per barrel in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $10.27 per barrel in the third quarter of 2025. Throughput in the third quarter of 2026 was 57 Mbpd, compared to 82 Mbpd for the same quarter in 2025. Production costs were $8.45 per throughput barrel in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $4.66 per throughput barrel in the same period of 2025. Third quarter 2026 throughput and production costs reflect reduced rates during the Hawaii turnaround.

The Hawaii refinery’s Adjusted Gross Margin was $20.69 per barrel during the third quarter of 2026, including a net price lag impact of approximately $(52.2) million, or $(10.03) per barrel, compared to Adjusted Gross Margin of $11.40 per barrel during the third quarter of 2025.

The net price lag impact reflects the Hawaii refinery's contractual sales volumes that are priced based on prior-month and prior-week average market prices. The third quarter 2026 net price lag impact was driven by higher refined product prices in September relative to June. In general, declining refined product prices produce a positive net price lag impact, while rising prices produce a negative net price lag impact.

_______________________________________
(1) We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. Total Refining Segment Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel is presented net of intercompany profit in inventory of $(0.58) per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and $(0.24) per barrel and $(0.12) per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which represents margin on intercompany sales where the inventory remains on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at period end. Intercompany profit in inventory per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was immaterial. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel includes the SRE impact related to the 2025 compliance year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel includes the SRE impact related to the 2019 through 2024 compliance years.
(2) Adjusted Gross Margin for our Renewables segment is determined under the FIFO inventory costing method. Total Renewables segment Adjusted Gross Margin per gallon is presented net of intercompany profit in inventory of $0.14 and $(0.48) per gallon for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The Renewable Fuels Facility began commercial operations in April 2026.


Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses certain financial measures and forecasts to evaluate our operating performance and allocate resources that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and forecasts to allocate resources and evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.

We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Operating expense includes certain shared costs such as finance, accounting, tax, human resources, information technology, and legal costs that are not directly attributable to specific operating segments. The criteria used to determine the allocation of these expenses generally reflect the time and resources required to provide the applicable service to other internal stakeholders. Remaining expenses are included in the reconciliation of reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated pre-tax income (loss) as unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses.

Management, including the CODM, uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow management and investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.

Beginning with the financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders excludes the portion of non-GAAP adjustments associated with the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture established on October 21, 2025. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA by segment also exclude other operating gains and losses (which primarily includes the impacts of the non-cash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities). This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding non-cash gains and losses that do not reflect ongoing underlying business operations.

Beginning with the financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted EBITDA includes the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests associated with our joint venture established on October 21, 2025.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Operating income (loss) excluding:

•   operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•   depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•   Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and D&A expense from refining and logistics investments;
•   impairment expense;
•   other operating loss (gain), net (which includes the impacts of the noncash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities);
•   Par's portion of accounting policy differences from refining and logistics investments;
•   inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
•   Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustments (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our RINs and Washington CCA and Clean Fuel Standard); and
•   unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands). For comparative purposes, previously reported 2026 interim periods have been recast to align with our current segment presentation. In 2025, an immaterial amount of Renewables costs was included in the Refining segment. As such, the 2025 comparative periods were not recast.

(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 deferred tax expense (based on the actual year-to-date effective tax rate) was $44.7 million and $177.6 million, respectively, driven by the full utilization of our remaining federal net operating loss during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a non-cash deferred tax expense of $72.7 million and $81.3 million, respectively, related to deferred state and federal tax liabilities.
(2) For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards modifications.
(3) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, there was no change in value of contingent consideration, change in value of common stock warrants, impairment expense, impairments associated with our investment in Laramie Energy, cash distributions from Laramie Energy, or our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference. Please read the Non-GAAP Performance Measures discussion above for information regarding changes to the components of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA made during the reporting periods.
(4) Represents the amount necessary to reconcile Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders to consolidated adjusted net income (loss) used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. The amount equals net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest minus the noncontrolling interest impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, there was no change in value of contingent consideration, change in value of common stock warrants, impairment expense, impairments associated with our investment in Laramie Energy, or our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference.

Laramie Energy Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as net income (loss) excluding commodity derivative (income) loss, gain (loss) on settled derivative instruments, interest expense (income) and loan fees, gain on extinguishment of debt, non-cash preferred dividend, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, bonus accrual, equity-based compensation expense, phantom units, expired acreage (non-cash), and other non-operating expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDAX is a useful supplemental financial measure to evaluate the economic and operational performance of exploration and production companies such as Laramie Energy.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Laramie Energy’s Adjusted EBITDAX to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss) for the periods indicated (in thousands):
